Dear Helen:
It saddens me to see the loss of your mother so close to the lose of your father. I will remember them as a great couple. I would always greet them when ever I would see them in church and I was glad that they would always remember me. I also went to school with your brother and I saw you again when Sts. Constantine and Helen had the class reunion before they sold the church. I was with my brother Bill Chakalos.
I wanted to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your parents.
I will remember them fondly as I have remembered your brother. May you take comfort that their memory will be eternal.
Vicki (Chakalos) Grafas
